My files were compromised by ONION file extension virus! I see .onion extensions everywhere and I can’t get rid of the virus, no matter what I do. These files simply won’t open. Is there a way to restore Onion files and make my computer secure again? Judging by the note that the virus left on the system, it must be Dharma ransomware.

Dear visitor,

Unfortunately, files with .onion file extensions (Dharma version) cannot be decrypted using any of available data recovery tools. We hope that you have a data backup or at least some important files on portable data storage devices (such as USBs, hard drives or CDs). Otherwise, it might be impossible to restore onion files.

To find out why files cannot be restored, you should read a full report about the virus which can be found here: .onion file extension virus. How to remove? In this article, you will also find guidances on Onion ransomware removal.
